Welcome to the Mottets
Situated in the 'vallée des glaciers' and on the "Le tour du Mont Blanc" hiking trail,
this old high mountain pasture, transformed into a refuge,
welcomes you into a social family atmosphere from mid-June to mid-September.
In an untouched nature you will meet up with the herds of cows and sheep kept by shepherds who will surprise you. They will tell you stories of their lives and guide you to marmot lookouts.
Open from mid-June to
mid-September
50 seats - half board
